The Ouachita National Forest initiated scoping for three amendments to the Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan) in August 2014. The current Forest Plan was prepared and published in 2005 under direction contained in 36 CFR 217. Direction for amending National Forest Plans is now contained in 36 CFR 219, which became effective May 9, 2012. The scoping letter is available for your review.

This historic recreation area, located along the small but scenic Walnut Creek, offers camping, hiking, picnicking, fishing, swimming and so much more, all in the heart of the Ouachita National Forest. A small native stone dam and rustic bathhouse were built by the CCC in the 1930s, and contribute to the swimming portion of the rec area.
